I grew up here, went to school here, and have worked hard over the last 5+ years to help build up the NYC innovation community. Response: Ask 100 entrepreneurs seeking funding whether there’s enough money here for startups, and 98 of them are going to tell you that there isn’t enough. You know what—it’s supposed to work like that!

I was chatting with Thor Muller a couple of weeks ago about web trends--and he made a very insightful point as I talked about how I see more and more models around getting people to work together in different ways. (Once with Docracy, once with a super cool company launching in the first quarter of 2013.). Need to find a collaborator?

I recently wrote a blog post about why I believe that startup teams in close proximity perform better. I’m 100% certain this would benefit our community and not just the entrepreneurs that work there. And you can tell that the founders have thought greatly about creating the right kind of space for startup companies.

I’m getting a little bit tired of running my events list and seeing some of the best folks sitting behind the paywalls of people profiting off of the community’s attempt to talk to itself. Each week there are so many great events, blog posts, videos, etc. Startup success has also diversified across sectors. Expensive venues?

Since I answer this all the time anyway I thought it might make an interesting blog post. When I was running startups I felt like a horse with blinders on because I was super focused on the content management market and ignored many other markets. That’s true. At least for the best entrepreneurs. I LOVE this part of my job.

Nevertheless, if you share too much in your funding process or meet too many VCs expect a certain amount of your ideas to spread around the startup community. Dan Primack covered the issue on PEHub in which he asserted that there were ways around Reg D. We just had our sixth episode of #TWiVC and I felt this one was the best.

Kinda seems like that sometimes, right—that the venture capital community seems to chase after the bright shiny object of the moment in droves and then just as quickly moves on to the next new new thing. No startup on the face of the earth has ever gotten so much free PR in the history of entrepreneurship. Geolocation is so 2009.

I'll put it to you that way. I was recently on The Hustle's "My First Million" podcast with Sam Parr and Shaan Puri. I'm a fan of the show, so it was a lot of fun to be on as a guest. One quick apology before we jump in: I try not to be too braggy -- but I balance that with transparency and openness. The Hustle My First Million Episode #197.

On LinkedIn we rarely communicate with each other. Occasionally I’ll get an LinkedIn email from somebody saying, “I see you know such-and-such, would you mind connecting me?&# In a way, LinkedIn has become mostly a chore for me – a place to provide intros for two people that I know. Powerful stuff.

He wrote an excellent blog post on this topic. And frankly one of the skills of an entrepreneur is figuring out how to get access to people that they don’t know and one of the ways that potential investors (like it or not) can judge one part of your skills is in seeing how you use ingenuity to gain access.

and since your lifelong dream of being a banker doesn’t seem like a viable route anymore, you’re thinking that a startup might be the place for you.

When you’re talking hiring for startups, the two are actually pretty similar—because joining a super early stage startup is essentially like getting married. There are lots of development shops out there who would be more than happy to build the tech for your startup. You’re building a young team with a small amount of money.
